New 50% Tariffs Take Effect on Certain Canadian Goods

The U.S. and Canada did not reach a final deal by August 22, 2026, and the President triggered 50% tariffs under Section 338 on goods including wine, dairy, cement, clothing, and hockey equipment. In retaliation, Canada is matching the 50% tariffs on steel, dairy, appliances, and electronics. There are currently no indications of further talks.

For additional information, please refer to the CSMS Message issued by U.S. Customs. CV International will keep you up to date as the situation progresses.
